High Schools in Jefferson School District 14J

Jefferson School District 14J in Oregon has exactly one high school, Jefferson High School, which serves grades 9–12 at 2200 Talbot Road SE in Jefferson and enrolls 245 students. Because there are no other high schools in the district, parents cannot compare it with in-district peers; the meaningful comparisons are with district aggregates and Oregon averages. Test scores are from 2025–2026, while graduation, chronic absenteeism, free/reduced lunch, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio are from 2024–2025. The district is ranked 137 of 141 in Oregon, in the 3rd percentile with 0 stars.

The school’s ranking has fallen sharply: from 92 of 268 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024, to 186 of 270 (31st percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, to 253 of 271 (7th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026. Proficiency is very low: math 7.7%, ELA 17.3%, and science 17.9% across all grades. Chronic absenteeism is 51.3%, above the district’s 44.0% and the state’s 33.5%. About 75.92% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 31.8. Per-student spending is $21,337. The graduation rate is 84.5%, above the state’s 83.0%. Science at 17.9% is above the district’s all-grade rate of 14.8%, but still below the state’s 30.6%. All-grade and 11th-grade OSAS results are identical, indicating the tested population is concentrated at grade 11.

For parents, the most urgent concerns are math, where fewer than 1 in 12 students are proficient, and chronic absenteeism, which affects more than half of students. The graduation rate and science performance are relative positives, though science still trails the state. The contrast between the above-state graduation rate and low proficiency suggests graduation rate alone does not show how students perform on state assessments. As the only high school in the district, Jefferson High School defines the district’s high-school profile. Its decline from 3 stars to 0 stars is the clearest summary of its recent trajectory. State suppressed no test scores in this record.
